Trump Thinks He Invented The Fourth Of July
In a humorous segment from "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host takes a satirical look at a comment made by President Trump regarding the Fourth of July. The video, titled "Trump Thinks He Invented The Fourth Of July," highlights how the President's statement was an attempt to distract the public from his administration's struggles with immigration, trade issues, and rising budget deficits.
The segment starts with Colbert introducing the audience and acknowledges the constant investigations surrounding the Trump presidency. He cheekily references Trump’s lack of substantial accomplishments, particularly highlighting how immigration remains a contentious issue—despite Trump's promises to reduce illegal crossings, the numbers have reportedly surged to new highs. This double-talk is accentuated when Colbert jokingly compares Trump's contradictory claims about immigration regulation to a nonsensical medical diagnosis.
Colbert then transitions to Trump’s trade wars, particularly with China, emphasizing how Trump's decisions have led to record-high trade deficits. The segment serves as both comedy and commentary, underlining how governmental policies can impact national economics, while Colbert delivers these truths with comedic flair.
The segment culminates with Trump’s announcement of a "new holiday" on the Fourth of July, which Colbert humorously critiques. He notes that D.C. already hosts annual celebrations for this date, and Trump's contribution seems redundant at best. Colbert seizes this moment to mockingly declare his own fictitious holiday, “A Salute to Time,” further satirizing Trump’s proclamations.
Overall, this segment showcases Colbert's blend of entertainment and political critique, engaging the audience with laughter while prompting them to think critically about current events.
